    suspension

    I put a rear sway bar on my '66 Monaco 500, stiffer shocks and 235-60-15 tires and it made a huge difference. I did a '69 Roadrunner years ago, I put a larger front sway bar, rear bar, much stiffer shocks and larger torsion bars it was an amazing handling car. There are firm feel steering chucks...

    Wheels and tire ratio question

    your spedo will be 10% slower showing 50 when you are doing 55, as will your odometer, it will be only 0.9 miles per actual mile If you do fuel economy calculation, it will 10% better than calculated. If you have a 30 tooth speedometer gear put a 27 tooth in, that will put it back to normal My $.02

    413 Backfires

    Usually a backfire is from going lean, ether the float level is low, or the accelerator pump isn't working properly or mis-adjuisted, if it happens when the throttle is opened quickly. Since it is idling smooth, I would guess it doesn't have a vacuum leak My $.02

    Smokes from air cleaner pan ?

    I'd guess the engine dieseled and turned backward when it turned off and puffed smoke back out of the intake. Probably got some old/low octane gas.

    Is it possible the ignition wires were installed in the wrong place on the distributor? Did you do the wires one at a time or all at once?

    Did 440 4bbl 375 horse motors get 6 pack rods?

    I knew 70 and 71 6bbl engines came with big rods. I had a 72 440 4bbl CHP motor that had big rods. My question was did 440 4bbls in 70 and 71 have big rods. and the answer is yes.

    Did 440 4bbl 375 horse motors get 6 pack rods?

    Now that I think about it, the only 70 up 440s I've been into is a 70 Superbird 6bbl and the 72 CHP car, both with the 6pack rods and damper, all the other 440s I've messed with are older. Saforwardlook, that is a beautiful E! Thanks for the clarification.

    Did 440 4bbl 375 horse motors get 6 pack rods?

    I've rebuilt a few HP 440s in my time, and only one, a 1972 Polara CHP 440 4 bbl had 6bbl rods. I watched an old YouTube vid today from Nick's garage and he said that "most" '70 375 horsepower E body 4bbl 440s get 6bbl rods. What is your experience with B or E body factory 440's? Did 70 or 71...

    Is my stock 727 in dire straights ??

    It wouldn't hurt to drain the converter and put in as much new ATF as possible (if the converter has a drain plug) My $0.02

    Giving up on street motorcycling, bought a Volvo

    I just turned 67, I've been commuting on my Yamaha FJ1200 for a couple decades. Can't afford the '66 440 Monaco 500 as a commuter, so I just purchased a Volvo! I never thought I would get one, but it's a really nice car for a lot less than blue book. Timing belt, brakes, tires and more are all...

    Indy "Big Go" drag race today

    2 of my favorite drivers won today, Ron Caps and Antron Brown. Ron is going into the countdown in first place On a separate note, if anyone is in Long Beach CA, the Lyons drag racing museum is really good, much better than the NHRA museum in Pomona.

    A903 to A833 Conversion?

    I know from personal experience, you won't have any problem finding the drive shaft (if it is different from the 3 speed) the A833 and the A727 uses the same driveshaft. Any A727 automatic driveshaft will work. My $.02
